Information

Ashita wa Ashita no Kimi ga Umareru was used as the theme song to the Fuji TV show Odaiba Gakuen ~Bunkasai~.

The PV features 2 different versions. The "graphic" version (released on DVD) features the opening of the girls being shown dead and as the video progresses, it's revealed they are shot by an unknown assailant. The other version probably a TV tamed version (unreleased on DVD) omits anything that has to do with the girls death or being shot, and is replaced (primarily the second half) with them walking into a field as well as close up shoulder length shots, and dance shots.
